This is so smart. I saw the Part 1 and I thought you used e-ink display. And its a PAPER. This is how DIY videos should be. Low cost materials but the output should look like a million bucks.
Simon made me buy a 3D printer, Becky showed me how to make a Subscribe Counter and this is the result, like they two made a baby ua-cam.com/video/H2P5pbXcSJA/v-deo.html
Just got the parts to make this. Great project. Will be a neat wall piece for my garage. Subscribed. :) Adafruit sells the backpack and seven segment display as a single product now, "Adafruit 0.56" 4-Digit 7-Segment Display w/I2C Backpack - White". There is also a 1.2" version but it includes two extra time dots at the beginning so the 1.2" is more for time keeping and clocks than numerical displays. 1.2" only comes in red or yellow and the .56" comes in a wider variety of colors. Thanks for all the links and making it an easy to follow project.
Wow. Very cool project. I’ve loved your mix of clean, simple aesthetics with DIY crafting and functional electronics ever since I saw your Make: videos six years ago.
OMG This is the coolest! I want to make one so badly now. When you have as few subscribers as we do, every single new one is like a celebration. Seeing it live on the wall would be so fun.
I already made it. It was fantastic. The only problem I have is that after a power cut, the ESP8266 turns on again, but everything remains at "00000000". In order for the figures to appear again, I have to restart the Router. Any solution to this problem? Thank you
Hello @Becky! I really liked this toturial video! It's inspired me to make my own social counter. I have also some upgrade ideas. It would be great to install a web server to the device where users can friendly configure the wifi and add the API keys. Unfortunately I'm a big noob to do these upgrades by myself. Can you may give me some advices how should I start it? Thanks a lot!!!
At the tutorial link in the description, you'll find a version of the code that uses the wifimanager library to make the network settings browser-configurable. I have no plans to make the yt channel settings configurable outside of the Arduino code.
turbo_saab what do you mean by rounded? It is rounded to the nearest 10, or 100, or possibly greater? Please let me know as I am just about to stuck in :)
Hi! I’m new to your channel and a fellow New Yorker, teaching in Queens, but living in Long Island. I have next to zero experience with this kind of stuff, so little in fact, that I didn’t understand 95% of the vocabulary you used in explaining this awesome project. Could I possibly commission you to build me the hardware for this build? In at 14.5k subs right now, and am finding channel growth as a wonderful motivator. Please advise.
Hi, thanks for your interest, but I'm not building these on commission-- too much of a time suck away from building new projects. You can get this clock that can act as a counter with the available app: store.lametric.com/products/lametric?variant=34703088974

Sometimes the UA-cam recommendation page is spot on! Your videos are great, can't wait for the next one!
If Simon likes a video, the video must be good :D

Awesome! Need to build one of these when I hit 200k. So cool.

Nice Project. I think i make this for myself. Thank you Becky
Hello, I did the same one but it didn't work, I want to ask you. Will this project still work?
The one on my wall still works, but gives the rounded count since the API change
Looks great, congrats on almost 12k!
So much win in this video, thank-you! and sub'ed
Hi, where we can buy it?
We are from Spain and we need 3 of them :)
Could you tell us your price?
Thanks!
I don't sell them, but you can follow the tutorial at the link in the description.

It is super motivating! Hope you build one!
Next stop, 100,000!
Haha thank you Sean!!
Thanks for the shoutout Becky!
Congrats on 10K! It's good you have a display with future expansion room too!
Iot study, I'm Brazilian and its fan. Beautiful design.
Excellent work, going to put one together myself as I'm getting pretty close to 10K.
I loved this so, so much! Thank you so much!
Love your video's! Some great tutorials on here:)
Nice job
I just signed up for your channel. 11985 appeared there on his cool plate. I do it. I love it. Thanks!
Another great use of Brian's library! If you are splitting the numbers up, are you able to centre align them too??
Steve
Yes, change the divide by/modulo number from 10000 to 1000 to move the number one digit to the left, for example.
Holy F* This is so amazing! Becky... You just got yourself a new sub!
This is awesome! I’ll definitely be making this, since im about to also reach 10k soon. Thanks so much!! You just got a new subscriber 👍🏻
Great Video!
I absolutely love this project. Maybe I'll do it when I've got something less embarrassing than 4 subs! haha!
Good Project ❤️,Voted For Arduino Contest
Thanks!
Hello Becky Stern
Very nice video Thank you for your explanation
I already made it. It was fantastic. The only problem I have is that after a power cut, the ESP8266 turns on again, but everything remains at "00000000". In order for the figures to appear again, I have to restart the Router. Any solution to this problem? Thank you
Hm, I'm not sure, sorry!
1:06 I need to start doing so. Would save a lot of time, frustration, and money!
Great video.
Thank you!
also, is there a way to make it so that there are zeros before the subscriber count so that the number doesnt look so off-set?
Yep, dig into the code and you'll see how the zero padding can be applied to the leading digits too.
Thank you so much for the tutorial i will build it ^^
It's really cool
this is super cool!
Thank you!
Very well done. 👏👏👏👏👏
That is brilliant Becky! May I ask you how you get API key for instagram and other social medias?
They are all Brian's libraries, I'll have my code for that second one spruced up for publishing soon... github.com/witnessmenow/
Thanks a lot :)
I wish i could make this for my hubby... but im terrible with elektornic stuff :) Can u make me one?
Sorry, but no. Too much liability to sell devices.

Does this project still work now that youtube doesn't display the exact amount of subscribers anymore?
It does, but it displays the rounded count
@@BeckyStern Would it be possible to get the exact amount from the UA-cam Studio?
Somebody did it but it's way complicated ua-cam.com/video/n1-6g20tvy8/v-deo.html
Hello. Does it still functioning, as UA-cam changed their APIs?
Yes but it gives the new rounded count
Yes, same here. Only round data. Still works, unfortunately not that cool as it was just 2 or 3 months ago....
🤷 let me issue you a $0.00 refund
;)

What is needed for putting in instagram or other medias like you made the secound frame with ?
Just a few more displays/backpacks, here is the full tutorial: www.instructables.com/id/Social-Stats-Tracker-Display-With-ESP8266/
Thank goodness. Not a single "let's get started, shall we?". Nicely executed project.
Hi Becky, how can I make it work with Arduino UNO and ESP8266???
Ugh I wish I knew. I have a couple of those small modules but have never managed to hook one up at all. I bet Brian Lough has a video about it...
hi i have a esp8288 and a Max7219 and i look for a instruction for a instagram counter would be amazin if you can help me
Hey is there any way I could commission one?
Not from me, but the instructions are all at the link in the description
Do u sell them?
Nope, sorry
Your good even if u don't have alot OK subs u will reach soon
Would be nicer if you were to center the number so leave the last digit off :)
My videos are bad so I have only 2 subscribers
